Honestly, I thought this would be pointless BUT we've ended up using this spatula on a regular basis for applying bum cream in a clean and quick manner. When we're finished, we use a diaper wipe to clean it up and store back in the included container. I highly suggest getting one for your diaper kit now that I've used one (we used q-tips or makeup wipes for cream application prior, and this is way better!). It can scoop so much more product, and wastes so much less! Trust me, your baby's bum needs this.
